[Dolphin] What is the crossroads, the crossroads, the crossroads, the place that sounds like nothing exists. It is not big, the town is only 790 square kilometers, the population of 30,000, in the vast China is not eye-catching. But this little-known town is the heart of the president, attracting me is its rare unique temperament, which is far from comparable to those "cultural tourism towns" built by domestic investment of 100 million yuan. As the core intersection of the East Railway Line in the Middle East, a hundred years ago, there were 60,000 Chinese and Russian military and civilian living together, and the rich cultural collisions made it infiltrate the distinctive northern literary temperament: warm and desolate, romantic and sloppy. It is also an important stop on the Middle East railway. It is less shaded by a century-old banyan tree than the Angangxi and the Hengdao River, but it is more quiet because it is surrounded by "Weihu Mountain". Going out in the morning, the clouds and mists lingered in the mountains, and the light rain made the town more autumnal. The train slowly drove out of the Hengdaohezi station, and from time to time the town's calm broke and re-rounded like a wave. Walking in the streets, from time to time there will be vicissitudes of [100-year-old Russian-style buildings] hiding in the mountains, on the roadside, in the bush, behind the house, up to 256 old buildings scattered in the town, you will always encounter them inadvertently, surprises will follow. The former railway locomotive garage has now changed into a rich and detailed [Middle East Railway Museum]. My sister and I spent a full half a day here to enjoy the slow stroll, and finally put together the puzzle of the Middle East Railway. Thereafter, there was growing interest in the track that determined the fate of northeast China. Not far away, some old houses were made into [Russian style street] and [oil painting village] by zf. Although the nostalgic feeling has been diluted a lot, but fortunately, some efforts have been made in terms of content. Many artists have relocated the studio to this point. Therefore, art exhibitions will be held frequently, and they should not be missed. 🚝 Transportation Hengdaohezi is 3 hours drive from Harbin and 1 hour drive from Mudanjiang. Self-driving is naturally the most convenient. However, as a stop of the Middle East Railway, the choice of train is of course OK, Mudanjiang also has direct passenger buses, and it is not difficult to pass. 🏠 The food and lodging town has currently opened some homestays. The picturesque, Yeka, and Laoshu B&Bs in better conditions can be selected. There is also a century-old railway theme homestay worth recommending. It is opened by a couple who love the Middle East Railway collection. The housekeeper Lao Meng is thoughtful and enthusiastic. Although the price is not expensive for the town, it is still worth living. As for the food, the "superb cake" shop on the street clearly shows that you have to order food here. The president chose the "old lady glutinous cake" at the entrance of the town. The shredded pork and potato shredded pork with Beijing sauce were praised by my sister.
